Hi Becky! Just a little information on kombucha starter - what you're referring to as the SCOBY is actually the pellicle (which is a byproduct from the fermentation process - it's mostly made of cellulose). The pellicle is not needed to brew kombucha. The SCOBY is the starter tea. You can throw away/compost pellicles and get great fermentation by just using starter tea from the previous batch. I say all this to prevent new brewers from thinking they need a pellicle when in reality, they need starter tea :) Thanks for all of your amazing content, you are such a wonderful resource for everyone on UA-cam.
So, Shannon, you’re saying that the SCOBY isn’t what is necessary for starting your own kombucha but the actual kombucha?
I had someone offer me a SCOBY to start my own but when I asked if she used pineapple juice because it makes me anaphylactic she said she did. So I didn’t take the SCOBY. I’d love it if all I need is some kombucha. That’s so much easier to obtain!
Becky, a tip for keeping your shredded butter even colder; chill your metal bowl ahead of putting the shredded butter in it.
Watching you is the highlight of my day! I have learned so much from you and I am 82 yrs old! I have tried so many new things because of you! I raise my own veggies and can and dehydrate all I can! Thank you for being there for us!❤️❤️❤️❤️
I just want to let you know how much I appreciate you and all the wonderful time spent with you. Being retired is not what I thought it would be. It is lonely. Your beautiful smiling face and cooking fun is such a happy time. I really appreciate you! 💕
Hi Kathy - I'm sad to hear that you're lonely. I hope you get a chance to meet some great people. Volunteering is one easy way, and so rewarding. Enjoy your day!
Kathy, I feel the same about retirement, I am lonely and it makes me sad. When I mention that to son he tells me to check into assisted living. I think I will look for something part time so wish me luck I am 73. I really enjoy this young woman's vlog though makes me want to cook.😊
I agree with you❤. I am 52 and retired due to disability, have Muktiple Sclerosis and severe arthritis. It is so lonely as my kids are grown as well, but still live at home. Becky I love seeing g your upload when I turn on my TV. It's like having a best friend. My family makes fun of me because I talk about my friend Becky all the time!!! 😂
I’m retired also and I love watching her! ❤
Would agree with you retirement is very lonesome so I got a little job doing shopping for a couple of elderly people it is so great
MARGARET LYNCH SOUTHERN IRELAND
Thank you for inviting us in. I have realized that I've become emotionally invested in you in a maternal way. Your successes and growth as a gardener warms my heart. You seem like such a sweet soul. I know your mom is so proud. Best of luck with all your endeavors! You make it look easy, like you've been doing it all for decades. ❤
You don't have to buy filtered water, if you have chlorine in your tap water. Just let the water sit in the fridge for 24 hours. If you need it faster, just leave it at room temperature overnight. The warmer the environment, the faster the chlorine will evaporate. I have used this method on several fermentation projects and it works perfectly. ❤️
To be clear, you need an open container or jug to hold the water while it's evaporating.
@ That is a great option too! My sister in law prefers filtering her water with a sink filter and I know she loves it.
I like evaporate because I haven't had to buy anything specialized to do it. I in general don't like to have too many single job tools in my kitchen- but having a water filter pitcher would definitely be time saving.
@@anastasiaharris9125 I keep my filter pitcher in the fridge so I always have clean cold water for cooking, drink mixes (I like making my own lemonade, tea, etc.), or whatever I need clean drinking water for. I rent, so there's no way to install a more permanent system here. 🙂
does boiling it or putting it thru a britta water filter do the same thing?
False... in most cases it's chloramine...not chlorine( smells similar) it will never evaporate out... butn1/4 tsp of vitamin c powder will break the chemical bonds and allow it to break down...
Becky i want to thank you and your mom for upgrading me in the kitchen. Like most i was stuck doing the same bland recipes ( pasted down) and everyone in my family does them. Just by watching a few of your videos and stepping out of my comfort zone i have introduced new flavors and new favorites.. including the berry cake. Just know you are making a huge difference with your channel. You have even inspired me to start a garden and build my own grocery store and freezer prep. Things my grandma did before she passed but i didn't keep up on..but i see why it was important.
Good for you Toni! I know I wish i had learned more from my g'parents and my dad and mom bc once they are gone that knowledge is as well!
@@leighdegenhardt485 I can relate to that as well. But I am willing to watch Becky and learn now and apply what I'm learning in my life now to be able to pass that wisdom and knowledge on. Maybe you can too.
I am passing as much of my knowledge as I can to my niece. She is 35 and at 72 I know I may not have much time left to do so. I bought her a good recipe book that has loose leaf fillers in it and gave her all my favorite recipes. I will continue sending her more recipes and I have given her Becky's info and that if Jen Chapin, Frugal Fit Mom's, Roots and Refuge Farm. She recently lost her husband and right now sees no point but I'm hoping the recipes will somehow be a comfort to her one day.
I'm so sorry for her loss, sending my prayers and condolences. 72 is young what you mean...you have time as long as you have the will....and yes pass it all on....to everybody. Please let her know that she is loved and needed and she has purpose.
Does anyone else think those landscapers are never going to finish… cause they will miss the treats
😂😂 was thinking the same. Was thinking they are going to come visit to see how the garden turns out hoping Becky will send them home with goodies! You are so sweet Becky
Hahaha! Good one!
@@karenmomoftwins8847 that’s what I was going to say. 😆😆😆 I’m sure they’re SO grateful for the treats!!
Makes me.wish I was Becky's landscapers for sure
Yeah! ❤😂 they are going to be quite spoiled after this project.
Thank you for posting the real recipe links. It’s very cool that you’re giving recipe creators credit/acknowledgement that they work very hard for.
For the crockpot, my fav is Rouladen! It’s a German meat dish. Long thin strips of beef, rolled up with bacon, mustard and pickles. The crockpot moisture that you mentioned makes a delicious gravy. Serve with some potatoes and a cabbage salad. Hmmm mmmm good 😍😍
Crock pot stuffed peppers
Crockpot stuffed bell peppers stuffed with Mexican style seasoned ground beef, rice, black beans and queso blanco, then cooked low and slow in a slow cooker. Super easy!
Ingredients:
• 10 colorful bell peppers
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 jalapeno pepper chopped
• 1 small white onion chopped
• 2 cloves garlic chopped
• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 cups cooked white rice
• 15- ounce can black beans
• 15- ounce can crushed tomatoes
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 1 cup shredded queso blanco or Monterrey Jack cheese
• 3 tablespoons favorite taco seasoning
• Salt and Pepper to taste
FOR TOPPING
• Chopped cilantro
• Diced avocado
• Mexican crema or sour cream
• Favorite hot sauce for serving
Directions:
• Slice the tops from the bell peppers and core out the insides. Set them into a crock pot or slow cooker. You may need 2 slow cookers.
• Heat the oil in a small pan to medium heat and add the onion and jalapeno pepper. Cook about 5 minutes to soften.
• Add the garlic and cook another minute, stirring.
• Add the ground beef and cook about 5 minutes to brown it. You don’t need to cook it all the way through, as it will finish in the crock pot.
• Add the mixture to a large bowl and cool.
• To the bowl, add the rice, black beans, crushed tomatoes, corn, shredded cheese and taco seasoning. Add salt and pepper to taste and mix it together with a wooden spoon.
• Spoon the stuffing into each bell pepper.
• Add about a half inch of water to the bottom of the crock pot or slow cooker and cook on low for 4-5 hours on low, or 2-3 hours on high, or until everything is cooked through and the peppers have softened to your preference.
• Serve with cilantro and crema over the top, and your favorite hot sauce. Enjoy!
This sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing!
Becky, did you ever get your furniture for your sun room?
Becky, for chives, I find that using scissors vs. a knife provides a more consistent cut on them. I use scissors in a LOT of different scenarios but chives is a 100% always choice. Thanks for sharing your day with us.
Will the chives grow back after you cut them?
“Growing back” is one great thing about chives. They are terrific. Just keep them them on the shelf and keep them growing.
One of my favorite crock pot recopies is just a pork roast with a little bit of water or apple juice and then some taco seasoning. Once it is cooked (about 8 hours on low), you can shred the meat for tacos or quesadillas or Mexican pizzas or whatever. So good. It is great since you have the meat ready to eat for the next few days.
Yummy that sounds amazing! Thank you for this idea I am going to make this one night this week thank you again!
Sounds lovely, i was looking for a recipe like this, thank you.
Such a great way to have shredded pork. Pulled pork with bbq sauce is always good too
Great tip regarding pastry at bottom of bowl. I’ve always done the opposite.(83 years old). You wonderful young UA-camrs , are the best. There is nothing like hand made pie crust.❤ I used a hand towel to get the pastry in a ball. Don’t cook anymore except healthy vegetables, under cooked and salmon, rare. My tummy loves me.😂
Cut the edges of the pastry after the first lamination. The reason it doesn’t puff is that the butter layer does not go all the way to the edges at first, sometimes you can actually feel where the butter stops. You can incorporate the cut piece of dough into the center of the dough during the next fold.
Wow, what a great piece of information to have. I've stopped trying because I couldn't get my puff pastry to puff. This is so helpful.
I have made meatloafs in my crockpot in the warm and hot months when the menfolk were begging for meatloaf and I didn't want to heat up the house. It worked perfectly! They loved it. I just used a spray oil and let it get really hot before I placed it in there. Cooked it for about 4 hours, topped it with catsup and worchesterchire sauce and mustard mix. Sometimes, if I have it, I top it also with crumbled bacon.
One of my favorite crock pot recipes is Mongolian beef! You need:
1lb1/2 flank or skirt steak
1/4 cornstarch
2tbls olive oil
2-3 garlic cloves minced
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 cup water
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup of grated carrots.
Green onions for garnish if you have it.
Cut the beef thinly against the grain and coat with the corn starch. Set aside
Mix remaining ingredients in crock pot and then add the beef making sure that it's coated in the sauce.
Cook on low ~4 hours.
I typically eat it over rice. Sometimes I'll also add broccoli, cauliflower, or sweet bell peppers in slices in the last half hour of cooking to get soft and yummy in the sauce as well.
Hope you enjoy!
I think that dough, thinly rolled and baked in muffin pan with a filling of your choice would be perfect for parties:)))
OMG, every time I watch you cook or bake I learn one or more tips that make so much sense! Love how you explain. Such a great teacher! I do remember it when I see you do it! Merci !!! And then of course, I am dreaming of your homestead! It's going to be amazing! So beautiful!
Becky I really enjoy watching you taste your food,you talk with your eyes.(wonderful) The danish looked so good.❤️
I appreciate your channel! Here's a favorite of mine... Beef stew
Combine in crock pot:
2lb beef roast cubed
2 cups sliced carrots
2 cups diced potatoes
1 medium onion sliced
Sprinkle with:
2 teaspoons quick cooking tapioca
Salt
Pepper
Pour over:
8oz tomato sauce
1 cup water
Cover cook on low 8 hours. One hour before cooking time ends add:
1-1/2 cups frozen peas
I love that pantry and the huge deep freezer. Girl, you stay ready!
I think you are awesome! You always inspire me. I first found you because i wanted to make homemade pasta and you came up in my search saying I am making pasta for a year! I have been hooked ever since!
I had leftover mashed potatoes and they were a bit chunky. Used those to make loaded potato soup this weekend. So yummy and like you said, so quick and easy. The blueberry danish looks amazing. And I have almost 4 gallons of blueberries in the freezer from last summer. Need to try my hand at blueberry jam. Thanks for the inspiration.
My favorite crock pot recipe is a Mississippi pot roast. There are lots of recipes online and I just usually pull one up.
I have one saved! I will try it!
My favorite way of using a roast that is less expensive. It always turns out tender and juicy.
My daughter loves the Mississippi pot roast. (She's a first time mom and this recipe is so easy!) Mashed potatoes on the side!
I love your videos. I discovered your channel around October of last year. I never miss one and I have binged tons of your old ones. You have inspired me to plant a small garden this year. If things actually grow I can't wait to enjoy my home grown produce. Thanks for sharing.
I make shredded chicken in the crockpot. Add chicken breasts, spices of your choice, topped with stir fry vegetables and let it go. 4 on high, about 8 on low. Shred the chicken stir back in the sauce it created. We put it in wraps. It was delicious. I also saw a tip if you don't want your food to be "soggy" and brown a bit, you must put papertowels between the crockpot and the lid to absorb the steam forming. Hope you find your crockpot signature dish as well😊
I planted several, annuals in flower planters this past week,nasturtium first time. Also seedling from a local homestead planted 5 beef steak 🍅4 Rio Grande Roma,2 Cherry 🍅3Roma in my balcony garden yesterday. Excited to see how my soil is, been composting in galvanized tub on my balcony.
So happy you are doing kombucha again Becky! I just restarted mine today. I fed the scoby all winter and today I pulled out five beautiful scobies!!! Good luck on yours!
I enjoyed your video on this rainy Sunday . I have GOT to make blue berry danishes yum
Becky you look so refreshed and happy. Thank you for helping me develop different skills in my kitchen and my garden. Much love
Wow! Great job on the puff pastry! I never knew how to get those layers, def will try this one! Thanks for another great video Becky! I appreciate you and all your efforts to provide such great content for us!
Great vlog & how to’s! I do the same with my kombucha so I don’t have to wait until the tea cools! If you’re making other ferments, such as milk kefir, keep them quite aways apart so the ferments don’t mix through the air. Those Danishes look so yummy! Blessings to all🤗💜🇨🇦

I make kombucha. I use both green tea and black tea. I brew mine on the kitchen counter and leave it on the counter for another 2 or 3 days for the second ferment. I love to flavour mine in the second ferment with elderberry or raspberry. I share with a friend and she adds ginger to the second ferment. Love your permanent brewing pot!
When I make Danishes I blind bake them to just near done, I then add my topping that way the pastry is fully baked and the toppings do not dry out or burn.
I can hear that little bit of crunch when you bite into the puff pastry. Yum!!
Been a while since I’ve watch a video but good to see you’re doing well Becky!!! Praying for blessings on you, your husband and your little precious baby boy!!
Wrap a few washed whole potatoes in tin foil, place on the bottom of the crockpot.
Place protein of choice seasoned to your liking and there you have “baked potatoes” and tender meat for your meal.
Corn on the cob or sweet potatoes can be used in place of the potatoes.
This was a game changer for me when I found it.
Also crockpot liners (like a boil in bag) changed the dishwashing game 🎉 I was celebrating when a coworker of my husbands told me about them
The soup looks delish especially since we r getting snow! It's almost May 1st ugh. I made instant soup in jars , made that in small batches so just enough soup for a day or two instead of tons!!
Honestly, I have switched over to the instant pot now. It cooks so much faster than the crock pot. Even my black eyed peas or carne guisada ( Mexican beef stew) get made in the instant pot now.
Agreed. Every slow cooker recipe can be converted to the Instant Pot and uses 1/10th of the time. I previously used a slow cooker all the time but since buying my Instant Pot, I don't use the slow cooker except for two things... 1) Corned beef was fantastic. The slow gentle heat really kept it tender. 2) Party warmer. Great for keeping chili or nacho cheese warm at a party. ... That's it. Otherwise the Instant Pot always wins. It's quicker and has a better result.
Agree. I have never really loved the flavors the crock pot gives. The instant pots flavors are even better than the oven/stove. I'm obsessed
I use an Instant Pot almost daily. Most CrockPot recipes can be adapted.
I have to admit I went from the slow cooker to the instant pot. I used the instant pot for 5 years. I'm now using my slow cooker again. The flavors are honestly better in the slow cooker, just me and my family's opinion. I still use the instant pot for certain things though.
I find that my food takes 4 times the amount of flavour to cook in the insta pot vs slow cooker. (Apart from salt!) I mean herbs or garlic and spices. Any tips on better flavour? everything tastes the same or very similar but totally different recipes 😢
Oh my. That puff pastry is a serious labor of love, although you make it look easy. You’re a great teacher. Thank you for sharing your ideas.
If you take your bowl that you're mixing that pastry with and set it on a bowl of ice it will keep it colder and your butter will not melt fast
I haven't made potato soup in forever, that looks so good, thank you for the inspiration.
Famished are amazing.
I’m going to try the danishes. I love the soup! Thank you 😊
Your expression and your eyes when something is SO GOOD is priceless. Love and need to try at making puff pastry. You are so passionate about everything you do it shows. Every day I check and look forward to your vlogs. You are the very best, and may I say funny too. 😂 a BIG THANK YOU.
Nothing like shopping in your own pantry! We are definitely wanting to try canning next on the homestead.
I make a chuck roast in my crock pot ,pat it dry salt and pepper ,sprinkle with season salt ,garlic powder, slice a small onion throw on top .half way through I put in a beef bouillon cube to the juices .my husband and I love it .when it's done I put juices in a pan take a little hot water and a tea spoon of flour and make a gravy . Left overs are delicious .I make an open faced sandwich the next day or you can make taco or faitia
We pushed all weekend to get our deer fence up for our garden to get things planted. I already have blooms on our tomatoes in pots. We so need to get them planted this week. We moved our chickens out to their new coop today and hope to finish the deer fence tonight as that is our 2ndary fence other than the predator fence around their coop since our camera has picked up fox, coyote and skunk passing thru our property. Excited to try this rough pastry recipe. Love how comfortable you are with dough any kind of dough. I find it relaxing to take a break and watching your videos! My pioneer woman crock pot lid has a steam hole in it to help reduce the watery effect of slow cooking. At first I questioned the hole but find it in fact helps reduce the water effect.
I love making Mississippi pot roast in the crock pot but I also add potato, onion and carrots to mine. Those danish's look scrumptious!
Becky those danishes look absolutely delicious, I am going to give it a shot! Thank you again for sharing another great recipe with us
You always make things look so easy Becky!
Thank God you had a video for us today! Happy Sunday to you and your lovely family❤😊
Hi Becky, I love watching you, when using your crock pot put a clean towel over the top and then put the lid on. Towel will absorb the moisture and keep recipe from getting to wet. I also use less broth then most recipe call for can add more later is you want something thinner.
My grandmother had a glass rolling pin she filled up with ice water when she used it. It was only used for pastry.
I bought one at a garage sale. I collect rolling pens. I never knew that was for ice water. Thanks for information!
@@cynthiacook7768 once it has ice water in it. It becomes perfectly balanced and you don’t need a lot of pressure to flatten the dough. Make sure yours has the rubber gaskets on it. If not, you can find something that will work at a hardware store.
@@tennagrover6140 Thanks!
I shopped from my curio cabinets and under beds ! I love your pantry and can’t wait to make that soon to be empty bedroom into my pantry, this closet , curio cabinet and under beds stuff is for the birds! Thanks for the amazing recipes
Omg! In a few years I will have an extra bedroom! That that could be that canning room! I haven’t started canning, mainly because of space and I’m terrified everything will go bad. But with the idea of the extra room I might start practicing the canning idea.
Becky a lot of times I make dinner ahead on the stove but keep it warm in the Crock Pot so I don’t have to worry about dinner at the end of the day. I will make soups and spaghetti sauce things like that then I just keep the CP on warm. It works great.
Great idea!
Use your pizza cutter to cut your puff pastry dough, much easier. Looks fantastic.
Those look delicious! You make it look so easy to do. It encourages us out here to try it.😀
Becky, can we get a link for those silicon storage bags you use? I want to get some of those!! Love your videos, especially when you cook. I'm definitely gonna try this rough puff pastry. Using the food processor on the butter instead of the box grater is an awesome idea. Thanks for the great content.
A family favorite here is diced potatoes on the bottom, then sliced polish sausage, covered with a layer of sauer kraut. Easy and delicious.
Do you use fresh or smoked Polish?
@@laurieschmidtke7497 smoked kielbasa 😊
My repeat recipe for the slow cooker is Ropa Vieja. It's amazing, and I can imagine how great with home grown or locally sourced ingredients.
I use my crockpot for almost everything. I love the smell of the long cooking process vs the instant pot.
Crock pot recipes I use 1) Pork ribs, add a little water, couple bay leaves, sliced onion and pour bbq sauce on them. Let it go for several hours, I usually do 5-8 on low and then you can broil the ribs a few min at the end for crisp top with more sauce. They fall off the bone, just excellent every time. 2) Swiss steak. Sear round steaks seasoned with salt and pepper, transfer to crock and add in 2 cans diced tomatoes, 3-4 diced garlic cloves, sliced onion and again cook for 5+ hours…serve over rice or potatoes. Absolute go to recipes for me. Easy and delicious EVERY.TIME. Thanks for your inspiration, love watching!
Everything looks so delicious! I will have to make the soup, blueberry danishes and that Kombucha! Where did you buy a live Scoby and plain Kombucha? I have never made Kombucha but have been wanting to try to make it. So sweet of you to make the workers such delicious treats! I am sure they really appreciate it!
When I was younger my local grocery store used to bake cream cheese inside a croissant... it was AMAZING! The natural sweetness of the cheese comes out and it's slightly tart, but sweet but not too sweet - just perfect.
ASMR on the pastry! Oh the sweet whispery crunch.
15:29 I so share your frustration when trying to find a bottle of plain kombucha. I finally said what the heck - I’ll just try a flavored one. I think I ended up using GT’s Trilogy, and luckily it worked fine.
I love the way you explain why do you have to do certain things in certain ways and what happens if you don’t do it right
I love your channel!! You are my goals, when it comes to homesteading!!! I want to preserve food the way you do!!
I love how it feels like we are actually in ur kitchen with you, like when you took a quiet moment to eat lunch and you said it was nice to have us there as company. Keep being you, bye friend x
Definitely trying the puff pastry, thanks Becky! As always your videos are amazing and thank you for sharing your gift with all of us 😊
Fold over the pastry on top of the filling, really nice presentation
My scoby just got mold on it too. Mine wasn't to cold but I shifted it and it sunk a little. I don't know if that's what did it or what. Like you, I was once again ready to get started again after a little break. I will have to order a new one. Thanks for sharing your days with us.
You can make almost anything in a crockpot. I love my crockpots. I have 2 sizes. I have a crockpot recipe book that really has helped over 40 Years 😊 my favorites are beef stew, ham&beans, and green beans&potatoes. But I love other recipes too
12:40 pm. I've been making your sour cream banana bread and my husband and I are loving it. I have some packages of shredded zucchini in my freezer and thought it would be great in that recipe, just substitute the zucchini for the bananas, or anything else, the sky's the limit!!
I have sooooo many crockpot recipes I use constantly. I have a print out on my fridge so I can quickly glance at the “recipe” (I measure nothing lol). If you have something specific you don’t want watery in the crockpot you can put paper towels or a rag pinned under the lid to trap the condensation.
My favorite slow cooker recipe is Mississippi Pot Roast. I use the leftovers for regular and BBQ beef sandwiches and Vegetable Beef Soup.
Never had kombucha. Very interesting to see you make it and explain the process. Now, I'll have to try it. Thanks Becky
My favorite crock pot recipe is chili. Make it from dried beans early in the morning(before 830) for it to be done by dinner, and you can freeze the leftovers in mason jars for later
I use a spray bottle when making crust. It works great in adding water to pastry
My favorite crockpot recipe is French dip sandwich, put a frozen 3lb chuck roast in with 1/2 cup soy sauce 2cups water 1tsp rosemary thyme and garlic powder and 1bay leaf. Shred the meat serve on toasted ciabatta rolls with a slice of cheese.
Leftovers meat can be used to tacos or quesadillas. This is soooo Good!
Becky here in Australia we love lamb shanks in the slow cooker. 6 hours on low. Base of celery onion and carrots, can of diced tomato, 2 table spoon tomato paste. Sun dried tomatoes, olives 1/2 water and beef stock cube or stock/ or red wine, mushroom., garlic basil and parsley and S & P. I put cut potatoes in but others serve with mashed potato and green beans. So yummy. Meat falls off the bone.
Lamb shanks are the best part of winter, I use port instead of red wine in mine, and reduce the sauce at the end to make it thick and glossy
Thank you for the Cream Cheese Danish Recipe, since I have the filling made & want to assemble mine tomorrow; this will be my first attempt at this. Great minds think alike.👍🏼😀
I love that you can hear the flaky crisp in the danish when she took a bite!
This is so informative,the whole process of making Komboucha,I find it all very interesting.
I found the crockpot made things watery as well so I put a wooden spoon under the lid an it helps .
My crockpot. I’m mainly using it to cook bigger batches of chicken down overnight and deboning it the next morning. Not only do I have shredded chicken for the freezer/freeze dryer I have a thick rich bone broth that I can strain and do the same with. I have fibromyalgia and having this cook overnight, then letting it cool, then shredding then packaging or freeze drying. It’s all in steps which makes it easier for me to get done in two days instead of pushing my pain limits. Thanks for the kombucha videos, I’m going now to check out the one suggested. Many blessings to you and yours.
I love this idea. Do you fill the whole crockpot with water and put the chicken in? Or do you let the chicken create it's own juices?
@@kaesmomFitz just chicken. Nothing else
I would love if my family were happy with soup for dinner! Not likely though! You brought back memories of making rough puff pastry years and years ago!
Potato soup is one of my favorites. I mostly fix roasts in my crock pot.
The pastry looks really yummy. I think I would try putting the jam on after they come out of the oven.
Girl you derserve a fresh cup of coffee!!! It will go great with that blueberry pastry. Yummmmy
Becky there was a store I used to buy apple or cheese danish from that were delicious. I am going to give this recipe a try it doesn’t seem difficult. What I like about this recipe is the pastry cuts don’t have to be pristine and this gives me ideas for some savory treats. ❤
I’m so glad I found your site you are adorable and very interesting and enjoyable!! If I’m feeling down all I need is my Becky fix!!
My teenage boys actually request to make the make ahead chicken freezer meals... Thank you so much for becoming a friend of the family! Hugs from Esquimalt
Blinds for pantry window. Does it warm up much from the the sun ?
Hello to a fellow Canadian! :)
@@MissTaken40 And a Heya back!
I enjoy the crockpot in winter. BBQ works great. Sometimes I experiment by adding different jams plus BBQ. I use mainly chicken.
I do want to learn this skill! Yes! I'd absolutely watch how to make jam!
Becky, Thank you for the Kombucha instructions. I have been wanting to make some Kombucha, but have been procrastinating. I have been a little intimidated. You made the process look easy.
One of my favorite crock pot recipes is honey garlic chicken (you can you any cut of the chicken too)! It was a recipe I found on Pinterest and is great when I need a quick and easy meal! I can't wait to make those cream cheese Danish's! thanks for sharing this part of your life with us and taking us along!
I make honey, garlic chicken or tenderloin as well in the pot, and it's ah-mazing
@@tinanelson1128 OOh a tenderloin would be delicious!!
I enjoyed being in the kitchen with you today. I would love to taste those danish. Yummy.
